Becoming a member of a fellowship group provides an ideal place to grow as a disciple of Jesus and become involved in every aspect of the church’s life. It is the most effective way of enabling any individual member to grow in maturity and be actively involved in the church.
Fellowship Groups meet regularly for food and fellowship, teaching, worship, prayer, and fun! Fellowship Groups are led by members who are not necessarily in full-time ministry.

Serving as an Acolyte in the church is a very visible and important ministry to our parish. The word "acolyte" comes from the Greek word Ako lout hos, which means a servant, follower, or companion. The acolyte assists the deacons, priests, and bishops in celebrating the liturgies.
At St. John's, acolytes help ensure that the liturgies go smoothly and assist the Clergy in celebrating the sacraments.
Acolytes
We use lay readers to bring the word of God to the congregation by reading aloud the scriptures from the Bible. The usual format is that one Lector reads scripture from the Old Testament, then the assigned Psalm, and invites the congregation to join in the reading. A second Lector then reads from the New Testament.
Lay Readers
Eucharistic Ministers assist the priest by offering wine to the worshipers. Eucharistic Visitors take the consecrated elements in a timely manner following a Celebration of Holy Eucharist to members of the congregation who, by reason of illness or infirmity, could not be present at the Celebration of the Eucharist.
Eucharistic Ministers
Church ministry is important because it helps develop relationships between God's people and the church. St. John's Ministry Groups serve to connect, empower, and teach the members of the church.
A “ministry” is any specific effort to serve, teach, or reach a specific group of people.
